Robbie Williams looks set to secure his 14th UK No. 1 album this week with ‘XXV’.
The hitmaker’s collection of orchestral re-recordings of his biggest hits and best-loved solo releases is outselling the Top 10 combined, according to the Official Charts Company.
If he holds the position until Friday, he’ll overtake Elvis Presley to become the artist with the most chart-toppers in the country.
